James Short

15th Oct 1989 1.82m/92kg Left Wing

The wing has proven to be prolific try-scorer during the early stage of his career with Saracens.

His breakthrough season was in 2010/11 and he continued to impress the following year, using his blistering pace to full effect. He scored the only try of the game when Saracens defeated Leicester Tigers to claim the Premiership title in 2011. He has the ability to break through tackles with his strong running and is a name to remember.

Short signed for Exeter Chiefs in 2015 from Aviva Premiership rivals London Irish.

The 27-year-old winger was one of the latest recruits to arrive at Sandy Park following a busy summer of recruitment for Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter.

The talented back has already won the Premiership title with Saracens back in 2011, scoring the only try in the Twickenham final as the Londoners triumphed 22-18.

His arrival for the 2015/16 was a timely boost for the Chiefs. During his time at the club, Short has become a prolific tryscorer.

The talented winger took his seasonal tally to ten touchdowns for the 2016/17 season with his timely treble at Sixways in early 2017.

Short underlined his proven talents, scoring 29 tries for Exeter Chiefs in 61 appearances before re-signing for a further two years in January 2018.
